Good thing too. FIFA takimg action against racism that will impact on behaviour.

PS next time someone says "if it had been England blah blah blah" remember this.

Not so far from the truth I suspect...

Interesting to see from that article that UEFA have also launched a challenge against ...... the UEFA disciplinary panel over the Serbia debacle.

Long way from truth IMO. England need to take the chip off their shoulder and look at what has and in England's case HASN'T been done rather than forever predicting a ban based on zero evidence.

One of the reasons we won't be banned. Our fans, generally, have moved on and there isn't the racism and violence of yester year (for which the England team was never banned in any case).
